Chapter Forty-Seven: The Director Is Present (Ask for Collection)
"You asked me to make a movie?"
"That's what I said, and you didn't hear me right!"
"Salary of 150,000?"
"Of course, if the film satisfies me, there will be dividends."
"So that's more than 150,000!"
Wang Jing looked at Ye Tian in a daze, and patted his head hard, such a big man is not enough, try to calm down, and see Ye Tian again, either he is crazy or he is crazy, but before that, I have to make sure.
"Ye Tian, you are just a student, you don't look like a rich person, one million is not a small amount, where did you get the money?"
"You don't have to worry about money."
"How can I not care, you have no money, what should I do?"
Ye Tian looked directly at Wang Jing, leaned forward, and said condescendingly: "If I ask you to make a movie, I will naturally pay you, am I so bored that I treat making a movie as a joke?" And I asked you to be a director, not because of how good your ability is, but because you are cheap enough! ”
"You?"
Wang Jing's face turned red, which was more shameful than being rejected, and it really hurt his self-esteem that was hidden by him, and he said angrily: "Stinky boy, I started writing movies at the age of 22, and at the age of 25, I filmed "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", with a box office of more than 5 million, people say that I am a young genius, but I am modest, I only think that I am a young genius, and I am cheap?" Do you know how much money I will be given to make a movie this year? Tell you...... 2 million! ”
After foaming at the mouth, looking at Ye Tian, who was not shocked, Wang Jing suddenly felt bored, slowly calmed down, and after his brain cleared up, he realized that he had just lost his temper, and laughed at himself, he was actually provoked, or was he a training class student, since "A Thousand Kings Fight a Thousand Tyrants" was a big hit, how many celebrities had excuses to approach, he didn't bother to take a look, let alone a young student like Ye Tian.
After a review, Wang Jing remembered that the company gave him a place to shoot, 2 million Hong Kong dollars, saving a little money to make two movies, originally for the sake of insurance, he planned to write and direct himself, and Shaw also meant this, "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants" earned him millions, plus overseas box office profits, the company can't make so much money from making ten martial arts dramas, the cake is very big, so in addition to the promise of two movies, he also made an exception to agree to Wang Jing's request for box office sharing, which has been established for decades in the Shan family, unique, Wang Jing is the first, If he had also accepted Xu Guanwen's request for a box office share, perhaps the Hong Kong film situation would still be dominated by the Dai family.
"Get Father-in-law" is full of laughter, Wang Jing has watched it more than a dozen times, and after writing the script, he compared it with "The King of a Thousand Kings" he wrote for a long time before deciding to shoot it, "Best Partner" gave him too much stimulation, a comedy, it sold 26 million, which is really a money-grabbing film.
"What are you thinking about?" Ye Tian knocked on the table, and half an hour had passed since the negotiation.
"Why are you looking for me?"
"I'm looking for you? You sent it yourself. ”
Wang Jing swallowed his saliva and said seriously: "I mean, why are you looking for me to make a movie, I am indeed looking for you today, but why do you take a fancy to me?" Don't tell me nonsense like cheap, there are so many Hong Kong directors, don't say 150,000, even 50,000 There are a lot of talents who come to recommend themselves! ”
Ye Tian pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "I fancy your potential, Mr. Wang, you know better than me what Hong Kong movies are, the total box office is getting higher and higher year by year, "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", "Modern Bodyguard", "Best Partner" has broken box office records one after another, especially "Best Partner", the box office has reached 26 million, what is the concept of 26 million, 10 yuan a movie ticket, 2.6 million people watched the movie, excluding people who repeatedly walked into the cinema, half of Hong Kong people have seen this movie, throughout Hong Kong, Is there anything hotter than a movie ticket sale? ”
"Nope!"
Wang Jing shook his head, his expression was extremely complicated, he actually made a training class student excited, Hong Kong has a population of five million, more than half of the people buy "Best Partner" movie tickets, such a hot commodity, the whole Hong Kong can't find a second one.
Ye Tian smiled and continued: "Since Hong Kong movies can make money, why don't we make them ourselves? ”
"No! No way! ”
Wang Jing shook his head: "The company won't allow it, I'm a member of the Shan family, and the film can only be released in the Shan family, if you anger the sixth uncle, no matter how good the film is, it will be rubbish!" ”
Ye Tian frowned and said, "In addition to the Clan Cinema, there is also the Golden Princess!" ”
Wang Jing smiled bitterly: "This is even worse, the Wei clan is hostile to Princess Jin, you ask me to help Princess Jin, the Wei clan will definitely block/kill me, where can I find investment in making movies in the future?" ”
Ye Tian raised his eyebrows and sneered: "If you are afraid of wolves and tigers, you can't do a big business." ”
Wang Jing said unexpectedly: "You're not afraid of the Clan's blocking/killing?" This training class also belongs to the sixth uncle, and if you anger the sixth uncle, you can't get mixed up with TVB, even if you graduate, you can't sign a contract. ”
"Since I dare to think so, I am naturally prepared, and I don't plan to sign a contract with TVB after graduation." Ye Tian's face was cloudy, if the filming of "Get My Father-in-law" angered the wireless executives, he would have no choice, and the TV station manager asked him not to like it, the five-year period, in addition to the performance, there are also singing, going out on tour, etc., and all the proceeds belong to the TV station, what is the difference between this and the deed of sale, five years later, it is 1986, is he going to be blocked/killed for 400 days like Andy Lau?
Wang Jing said helplessly: "I can't take risks with him, it's not that I'm cowardly, I don't care, Lao Dou is still working in wireless, so old, I don't want to involve him, I want to change jobs, and I have to wait until the contract expires, I advise you to think about it before deciding, Uncle Six's power in the entertainment industry is beyond your imagination." ”
"We'll talk about it then."
Ye Tian sighed secretly, he said a lot today, he didn't even tell Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei and a group of friends about these secrets, it may be difficult for others to jump to wireless TV station, but it is difficult for him, the most direct one is to compensate for liquidated damages, since it is a contract, there is a penalty for breach of contract, if the liquidated damages are less than 300,000, he can bear the money himself, if the liquidated damages are higher than 1 million, he can still jump to the film company, Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng can accept Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei, and he can accept him Ye Tian, Besides, he still has a hole card here, Asia Television is about to be established, his uncle Qiu Degen is officially competing for dominance in the entertainment industry, as long as he shows his talent, Qiu Degen will definitely invite him to join, and it is logical to terminate the contract with wireless when the time comes, Yi Yifu and Qiu Degen are tycoons of the same level, and they are at different levels, so they will turn their faces for a little Ye Tian?
Wang Jing stood up with difficulty, walked to the door, his heart beat faster, and turned around and said, "Is there really 150,000?" ”
"Of course!" Ye Tian couldn't help laughing, Wang Jing's appearance was like a child who was seduced by candy, turning back three times in one step, reluctant to give up, it seemed that the role of money was greater than he imagined, and it could make people take risks.
Wang Jing gritted his teeth, sat back in his place, looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one outside the window, before he whispered: "If you want me to direct, you can also add 150,000 plus box office dividends, but I have one condition!" ”
"On what terms?"
Compared with Wang Jing's anxiousness, Ye Tian is very calm, compared to Wang Jing's weak strength, he has a big backer behind him, no matter whether "Get My Father-in-law" sells well or not, Qiu Degen will look at him differently, and he still has five scripts in his hand: "Five Lucky Stars with Wonderful Ideas", "Best Partner 2", "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation", "People in Embarrassment", and "Plan A".
Wang Jing said seriously: "I can't use my real name, and the best shooting location can't choose Hong Kong." ”
Ye Tian was silent, the little fat man was worried that he understood, the filming was discovered by the Dian family, as long as the film was not suspicious before it was released, and the secret was leaked afterwards, the Shan clan had nothing to do with him, the film was sold, would he go back and force a commercial director away?
"Where else can we shoot but Hong Kong?"
"I can go anywhere except Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States, Southeast Asia, and even Europe!"
"Okay, just put it in Taiwan!" Ye Tian nodded slowly, he is not familiar with Taiwan, but Zhao Yuzhi is familiar with it, and asking her for help can also shorten the distance between each other, it is best to let her play a role for free, which can save hundreds of thousands.
Wang Jing let out a long sigh, it was very risky to make this decision, but he had no worries about solving the problem of the shooting venue.
"I'm too tired today, let's talk about the script another day, and ask the actors and crew to prepare, you'd better prepare the money in advance."
"Money is absolutely fine, if you are worried that I have no money, then sign the contract, so that both of us can rest assured." Ye Tian proposed calmly, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, now he has no money, he has to wait until the end of the year, dig a pit for Wang Jing first, 500,000 is not a small amount of money, and he needs to plan well.
